Kids can eat free at a selection of supermarkets and restaurants over the Easter holidays to help families struggling with the rising cost of living crisis.
Enjoying a meal out has become impossible for some families who cannot afford it due to the growing cost of living. Over the Easter break, many venues across the UK, including some in Liverpool and Wirral, are offering a free or cheap meal to children to help families who want to eat out without worrying about the cost.
Kids can enjoy a free meal at a selection of supermarkets and restaurants, meaning that families can spend quality time together over a simple lunch while doing the food shop, or a meal at a fancy restaurant for a special occasion. Below is a list of supermarkets and restaurants where children can eat for free this Easter.
